Re: Mozart Clarinet Quintet

The quartet arrangement has been published by Edition HH (edited by Christopher Hogwood). The first two versions printed were Artaria (1802) dedicated to Gelinek and André (1803). In a later André edition (1875) Gelinek is mistakenly given as the arranger.

The downward scale in the first movement isn't the only place where the basset register was used. For example, there is also the upward arpeggio in Trio II, rather than the traditional triplet figure. But there are other places where the basset register is not used, eg. bars 99-110 in the first movement. The Trio II example would be a strong indication to me that the arranger had at least access to some kind of basset version because that isn't the kind of thing that one would need to change to make the passage more pianistic. But there are other passages which, to my mind, seem to have been adapted to be more idiomatic to piano playing.
